Why did my brad nailer stopped working?

Jams are typically caused when nails feed incorrectly and wedge against the driver blade, preventing the tool from cycling. Jams are the most common cause of a nailer not firing. For safety, first disconnect the tool from the air supply, retract the feeder mechanism, and remove any excess fasteners from the magazine.

Why does my brad nailer keep jamming?

What Caused the Jam: Lack of Adequate Oil: The air cylinder in the nose needs plenty of oil to function properly. Too little oil, and the nails will be slow to feed, causing a jam. Pro Tip: For coil nailers, use 10-15 drops of oil before nailing.

Why is my brad nailer blowing air out the back?

Disassemble the nailer and inspect it parts for damage/wear, or take it to a shop. Air Leaks Out Back This is a good sign that seals need to be reseated with dry firing or bumping the gun, but it is also possible that air is leaking out the back of the tool because of a broken part.

What happens if you dont oil nail gun?

When done regularly, oil will coat everything and protect the air tool’s components. When done infrequently, the oil will expel out through the exhaust and O-rings will dry out. When an operator only oils at the time of use, it increases friction and reduces performance, leading to early tool failure.

How does a nail gun trigger work?

The typical pneumatic nail gun uses a piston with a long shaft attached to it called a driver. When the trigger of the nailer is depressed, the valve opens, forcing air into the cylinder and making the pressure above the piston greater than below it. This drives the piston down and hammers the nail.

Why does my nail gun double fire?

Many nail guns have a recoil, or pushback once the nail is fired. When this happens, a contact firing nailer is more likely to “double fire,” sending two fasteners out of the tool before the trigger is released.
